Hello, my name is Dave I live in Castle Shannon PA. Located just outside Pittsburgh Pa.I joined because the other Olds sites seem to only have interest in 1972 and older stuff. I like all the 2 door models from 78-88 but my main interests are the 1978-1980 box Cutlass and Regals. My current car is a 1978 Cutlass Calis with a boat anchor 260.I have a 1976 Olds 350 solid main block with a set of 1968 #5 heads for it. No real plans for much more than 300 or 350 hp. tops out of this, just doing a nice cruiser with a little gusto.Mild cam intake etc. I have one question at this time? Are 1982-2003 s-10 lower control arms the same as a G-body? I have an s-10 and the control arms look the same? one last thing anyone near Pittsburgh have a good set of doors for 1978-1980 Cutlass and REGAL? Thanks I think this is the site I've been looking for.

Welcome aboard. Sounds like a solid project! Post some pics when you can.
 
Welcome from a Steeltown neighbor!
I live in Upper St. Clair, just a few miles from you. My current ride is an El Camino, but I've had a Regal, Cutlass, Grand Prix. even a fastback Century that got a 400 SBC swap. You'll find plenty of Cutlass / Regal fans here.

Welcome. You have found the right site! I've been on lots of car sites through the years and I can honestly say I don't hate anyone here :lol:

I dig the '78-80 bodies too. If I ever have more space, get rich or start another project; I'd like to find a Century coupe, 442 Salon or Turbo Regal next.
 
dave1978,
Welcome to the site, Dave! As far as your question, (IIRC) both the upper and lower front control arms are the same as the G-body.
